He cut into it to see how the inside is different from mine and is modifying mine to hopefully be like M&M does them loud. Said he is mailing out Tuesday so hopefully I'll have it in 7 days. Excited and can't wait. I should have done a proper before video, but I'll wool up a mic and do a proper external sound video thru Angelus Crest.
Exciting! I'm curious how it's going to sound as well.

Ohhh, that's a fast turnaround to Belgium and back:

It's just a JoyAuto kit - not even repackaged.


NM- $528 + shipping
AE- $344

I’ve bought 2 from NM, 3 from AE and installed in 2 981 GT4s, a 987.2 & 2 997s including my current car.


Nice addition redoing the harness for the OE mic!
If I used Siri or voice commands I would have done the same.

~~~~~~~

Over the last few weeks I’ve done a refresh on the car.
- refinished wheels in BBS Motorsport Silver
- new bumper mesh
- new lip
- cleaned every bolt and clip, if rusty replaced
- removed all fender liners, plastic underbody, air-box, headlights, tail lights, mud guards, etc and detailed everything to the best of my abilities.
- replaced anything broken
- replaced line and fitting for FAL and replaced all hydro fluid.
- ton of other small stuff throughout


I got a plastic welder as well, and repaired some misc items under the car like small cracks in the plastic. Best $250 I ever spent! Super versatile.

Thanks to Supreme Power for the wheel refinish. They look awesome.

Where did you get the front lip from? Was it packed appropriately in your opinion, IE not bent in half?

Thanks,
TD

I bought it from Gaudin Porsche in Vegas because their price was significantly cheaper than most ($370) and shipping was reasonable.
It was packed adequately and not bent.

Had my contrasting black side mirrors and spoiler top repainted to the correct matching color. Paint shop did a great job with the match and my car had some good company. Next up, tackling the aging ppf and maybe removing the side graphics

390 a piece. Decided I’d buy 3 and should set me up for the next 5-10 year.

I actually like those side graphics on your car. The contrast is nice.

Also is that GT4RS already in the body shop for damage?

20 miles on it. Apparently some issues with the cf Weissach hood as delivered but it doesn’t sound like they think they can do anything about it.

On the graphics, I’m not sure I’m as bothered by them as I am with the black wheels but I feel like if I put the wheels back to silver I likely need to ditch the graphics too, but maybe I’ll come around.

Black wheels and graphics. If you change the wheel color to silver, then yes, I agree that the graphics Gotta go.
